Miss Deaf Texas killed by train; SMS gets blame

Less responsible media outlets (like, say, CNN) trumpet "while she was text messaging," but the local paper has it "minutes later," which is less likely to get national air. Blame the victim and the new technology, not any inherently unsafe rights-of-way. One has to wonder if there's a Railroad industry "Go Team" that just sits around, waiting to pounce on AP stringers with a bag of pre-spun bullshit.
